Abstract:This paper describes a process, via user- air traffic management (ATM) data
exchange, for enabling user preferences in an ATM-based system. User
preferences may be defined in terms of a four-dimensional (4D) user-preferred
trajectory, or a series of profile constraints (e.g., speed, routing, time),
depending on user capability. An emphasis is placed on determining the minimum
deviations necessary to ensure a safe and efficient flow of traffic. Several
key system-integration issues are identified and explored in terms of their
impact on the data to be exchanged and the roles of the user and ATM systems.
Three categories of key data are proposed for exchange, including: user
preferences, for one flight or a group of flights; calibration data, to improve
trajectory predictions (airborne and ground-based); and ATM-system state data,
to improve the basis for user decision making and preference selection. The
paper concludes with a brief description of two experimental evaluations
designed to explore data-exchange applications involving current and future
systems for flight management and data link. 11p.
